Cricket Mulling 10GB Monthly Data Plan

Gearlog is reporting that Leap's Cricket Wireless is currently evaluating the idea of boosting its monthly wireless data plan to a maximum 10GB of data per month. The plan, which costs $60 per month, is being tested by a small set of users. Cricket's current data plan costs $40 per month for 5GB of data (that's less than competitors AT&T, Verizon, etc.). Rather than charge high overage fees for users who surpass the 5GB quota, Cricket simply slows down those users' connection speeds. This new plan doubles the amount of data available for an additional $20. Cricket has not decided if it will actually offer this new data plan.
